Amadeus Yancey took it quite openly: "This isn’t really using the back door. Since they invited you, there must be a reason for the invitation."

She thought of the treatment she received today, feeling somewhat annoyed, frowning: "Let’s wait and see! If it really doesn’t work, I’ll talk to him again."

She hadn’t thought that the Level 8 Laboratory would be so exclusive. Even if they were all from the First Research Institute, as long as they weren’t formal members of the Level 8 Laboratory, they wouldn’t be given a chance to understand the lab further.

She still needed to investigate events from 20 years ago and had to integrate into the Level 8 Laboratory to do so. Therefore, she had to find a way to enter the lab.

Sadam Vinson was listening there, a bit confused, but he could somewhat tell that Amadeus knew the identity of the ’online friend’ Nathalie Quinlan met.

He interjected, "So, that ’online friend’ of Nathalie is also from the First Research Institute? Why do I feel like she started a group in Inderia? Before, there was that Jaycent Kingsley, and then another one, Zhou something... Nathalie, did you set up a small group in Inderia?"

This is Inderia!

Nathalie Quinlan had quite a few friends in Beijing who popped out of nowhere, and now in Inderia, she also had ’online friends’ from various places.

He couldn’t help but admit it.

Is this the difference between a big shot’s Line and his Line?

So frustrating.

With his interruption, Nathalie relaxed, seemingly a bit lazy, even too lazy to lift her eyelids: "No. What you’re talking about, they’re not from the same group."

Jaycent Kingsley and Nicholas Fuller...

Nathalie thought for a moment and added, "Well, they aren’t from the same path."

Jaycent Kingsley was a friend she added while trading stocks.

Nicholas Fuller is a friend from the Black Mandala group.

The two groups probably don’t know each other.

She kindly explained to Sadam Vinson, which left him speechless: "...So, big shot, how many groups do you actually have?"

Nathalie looked at him through the rearview mirror, pulled the scarf around her neck, and lazily replied, "Just one or two, that’s probably it."

Probably = Not sure.

Not sure = More online friends.

Sadam Vinson was completely convinced, so he simply shut his mouth to avoid embarrassing himself further.

God knows, before Young Master Qin came to Inderia, he thought his small circle in Beijing was already quite impressive. But after coming to Inderia, he realized he was just a small-time player, and the truly impressive big shots around him hadn’t even spoken up!

Oh gosh, face slap.

Because Nathalie Quinlan still hadn’t decided whether to use Nicholas Fuller’s connections to get into the Level 8 Laboratory, she still reported to the research institute on time the next day.

Who knew that as soon as she arrived outside the Level 8 Laboratory, Agnes Baker rushed over anxiously: "Nathalie, has Williansen Barness contacted you?"

The First Research Institute’s reporting time was rather early; she had to be there by eight-thirty in the morning, meaning she usually needed to get up at seven.

Nathalie hadn’t been sleeping well lately, so she still had remnants of morning grumpiness under her eyes, looking quite displeased.

Upon hearing Agnes suddenly ask about Williansen Barness, she paused for a moment: "What’s wrong with Williansen?"

Agnes Baker was really anxious, speaking rapidly as if pouring out beans: "Williansen usually comes to the small lab by 6 a.m. This morning, when I came over, I didn’t see him, and I thought he had overslept for once."

"But he still hadn’t arrived by eight. I called him with Wincent, but neither of us could get through to him; his phone is off."
